Prerequisite: PS 101.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, students will examine how
multiple factors interact with and affect health, recovery, and
adjustment of patients with serious health problems (e.g. cancer and

preventing illness (weight control, smoking cessation, etc.); and the
treatments received and the strategies used to cope with medical
problems and their stress/pain.
